Just when I thought wedding season had taken a long needed break (and that mine would be the next one I attended [rich fantasy life, i know]) the invitations come flowing in again! So as it turns out not only do I have several weddings in the works, I don't have a free weekend the entire month of June, so not a bad thing!!!!!

Joel and Deborah are getting married in Houston the first weekend in June and I can't wait to be there to share in their joy! Seeing as how the Astros have a home series that weekend I think we are going to make and entire mini vacation out of the trip.

On June 7th my mom and dad will be celebrating their 15 year anniversary and that makes me really happy. My parents are the greatest people you will ever meet so they deserve not just 15 but limitless years of happiness. I'm trying to figure out something fun to do for them but it's going to be hard to try and get all of the siblings in town on a non-holiday.

Jake's long time friend Mitch is marrying Tuckers little sister Taylor the second weekend in June and Jake an usher so we'll be there for all of that fun! This one is in Austin at my home church so not much travel involved.

The third weekend in June no weddings are scheduled but I am however taking some time off from work and am heading to Tucson for some much needed Lindsey and Catherine time!! I mean if Brian wanted to propose to her while I'm there I am more than willing to have that be a "wedding related" weekend as well. Only kidding but seriously ;)!

The end of June one of the guys in my office is getting married so the office will be crazy for about 2 weeks while he is gone.

After that my summer really is wedding free as well as the rest of the year as far as I am aware of. Unless Aubs decides to run off with some random guy in DC or Mel McCray and this new guy get hitched ubber fast, or Lizzie finds the man/teddy bear of her dreams I think I've got time to build up the bank account.

Things are great here in Austin! I love my new house, it's finally feeling like a home and getting decorated. I want to have people over soon but not too soon. I've still got a few finishing touches that will call be done by the 15th after that it's Bar-b-que time!

Oh yeah i'm joining the gym with Jake, haven't decided which one yet. 24 Hour Fitness is close and has a pool, Gold's is just as close and has the classes I used to take in abilene but has no pool...the pool is pretty much a deal breaker for me but we shall see because Jake has a say in it too seeing as how we are joining together. Well that is all that is going on with me. I hope everyone is doing great and that life and the people around you make you blissfully happy everyday!!

Life has been a little crazy these past few months! Since Christmas we have had Jake's birthday, Melanie & Matt, Cody & Emily and Jason & Julie got married, I went to the Masters with work, we got another dog, and Jake found me a house!!!
Jake's birthday was great and lasted for almost a week. We went to Ztejas in Ausitn for dinner with his family and some friends. The food was yummy and the drinks were great. I got him an autographed Red Hot Chili Peppers poster that he seems to like so that is always a plus! The next weekend we had friends over for a big bonfire and bar-b-que. There was soooooo much food!

A few weeks later I went to Dallas for Jason and Julie's wedding. It was so beautiful and it was great to see friends that I haven't seen in years. I enjoyed spending lots of time with Lizzie and Cam...and yes also Deacon. It's always nice to get to meet and spend time with the people that your friends care so much about!
Two days after I got back from Jason's wedding I left to spend a week in Augusta Georgia for the Masters. It was supposed to be a good week that would be hard and i knew this going into it, 2 days into the trip however I was pricing earlier return flights. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. Making sure that all of our clients had what they needed and that all of our vendors were giving us what we needed was driving me crazy and draining me. I was getting on average 3 hours of sleep per night and cried almost everyday. It was beyond stressful!!! I can't and don't even want to try to talk about everything that happened, but lets just say the commission check that I got from the event didn't make it worth it. Oh well next year will have to be different!
2 great things happened in austin while I was gone. Jake took in his sisters dog while they get settled in Tucson so now we have 2 babies, and he found me a house to live in rather than an apartment. This weekend I get to move into my 2 bedroom, 2 bath, huge backyard house in south austin! I am so lucky that I have a guy that looks out for me and gets things done while I'm out of town and freaking out about other things! He's too good to me. So in a nut shell that is what has been going on with me. There will be more details as they come along and as life happens.
